                The land of the silver sky, it was the term used for hundreds of years to describe the land in between the heart of storms and the land of trees. It was situated at the east end of the continent just a sea away from the regnorum of endless time, of dreams and of course the dreaded land of the barbaric warriors of Celaria. At its border near Wyndox it is surrounded by tall continental mountain ranges that at some degree block out the harsh aftermaths of the endless storms that the wind masters brew. Most of the areas beyond these mountain ranges are flat and people called it as the great plains of Tartharac, these are vast stretches of fertile soil replenished and made fruitful by the network of rivers running across the whole area. These networks of rivers all flood their banks during the summer season. Near the borders of Rysia large dunes can be found as well as numerous active faults while deep gorges fill the land in between it and the regnum of Enri. The border towards Erraius is filled with jagged mountains and a few active volcanoes. The southern portion of the regnum boasts of wide forests that were the result of the warm weather coming from the Shou Ocean. The geographical location of the regnum made a fertile land at the same time the one most prone to natural disasters because it was constantly feeling the wrath of the winds as well as the tantrum of fire as a result though the land was fertile not many civilizations choose to camp within its plains. The weather in the regnum is divided into two since the regnum stretched over the largest portion of continent Aone which was the name of this regnum was the largest in regnum in Tartharac. The northern lands had the climate of the four seasons while the southern end had the climate of the tropics. Due to this the features of the people were also diversified because different conditions resulted into different races and a somewhat not so unified culture.

            The southern Aonians had black hair and a copper skin complexion, black irises, a nicely shaped nose that were not to flat nor to high and round fuller lips. The life amongst the trees made then well built since the lived upon the lumber and the products of the forest. Most of them were moderate in height and had broad shoulders and a well chiseled face. Northern Aonians were the exact opposite of the south they had blondish brown hair and fair complexion this was the result of their climate and their lifestyle. They had tinted irises and thin lips. Unlike their southern counterpart the northerners had taller physic and a not so buffed body though were muscularly built they were a bit too feminine compared to those of the south. Though they had their differences they had one thing in common and that was the fact they were all very handsome a trait that almost all of Tartharac knew of. But unlike their vanity obsessed neighbors Aonians rarely took notice of their appearance they viewed this as a weakness since they knew women paid close to this and doing so weakens their manliness. They were more into numerous competitions than as to who was the handsomest. Marriage to Aonians was more of a contractual business than a romantic type thus words such as love were vaguely mentioned in their homes. Those of the north were considered to have a more complicated way of life in regards to laws founded as compared to the simple lifestyle of the south. The north in their own subconscious mind nurtured a more father lenient mentality as opposed to the southerners who have a more magi oriented lifestyle. Though both have different cultures they both know and consider themselves as a more civilized regnum as compared to their neighbors.

            The geographical location of the regnum made it an extreme necessity to have very stable infrastructures that stood the test of natural disasters as well as the erosion of time. The buildings were tall cylindrical shaped buildings with no sharp edges so as to let the wind flow freely against it. These were very tall buildings with thick walls and layered glass that were made so thick that not even the strongest wind could break through from it. Aonians valued knowledge above all so it was in this field that they exemplified their talent and their mastery skills. They poured their time and resources upon the very thing that would divide them from the rest and that was the ability to create machines to do their bidding. Aone was center of knowledge in Tartharac the lesser counterpart of Winaris in Celaria. They exemplified this in their architectural achievements creating marvelous sky rise metropolises that were built to be compact and behemoth so as to block out the winds. The foundations were made to sway against the constant rocking of earthquakes brought about by the huge active faults surrounding Aone. These metropolises were the epitome of their hard work the buildings were connected by huge metal bridges that served as the support beam of the structures preventing them from collapsing in times of distress. The Aonian skyline was filled with flying vehicles that were the mode of transportation for the people. Aone was known all through Tartharac for their massive fleet for airships that were heavily armed with weapons of war mostly used against rebellious small regnorum. These were of course hardly used in the present era but the warships were used during the time of the great Rysian war wherein Aone brought down the tyrant massive empire that controlled the whole of Tartharac. The city plans of the metropolises were extremely organized and well-marked getting lost in Aone was almost impossible. The buildings were built circularly around the main magisterium (government buildings) which was located at the heart of the city and around it were the buildings that belonged to the nobles then the citizens’ area then at the border of the city walls were the armed forces. This ensured that the city was able to defend itself against an attack in times of war. This plan was followed by all metropolises including the capital but on a larger sense and the imperial palace was located at the heart of the city surrounded by the magisterium. The ensured that the flow of governance in the city was flawless and the information passed reached the people at the same speed.

            Because of their differences in climate they had different styles in clothing. The south preferred lighter fabrics and bright colors while the north preferred heavier fabrics and the color white for their clothing. The color white to the northerners symbolized equality amongst the people so as a way to stop or to pacify disputes between the citizens later on this was adapted by the south to end the growing trend of wearing elaborate clothing. The current mode of dressing for the whole regnum was the simple combination of tight trousers paired with white long sleeved shirts with a vest and a long cape or coat overtop. The footwear was plain boots that were made of leather dyed white. People had short hair the longest length would be just below the shoulders but this was generally reserved for the nobles and not for the people.

            The subculture of aristocratic rule existed long before the regnum did during the time of the old when the small but peaceful regnum of Silverixe existed; they were the ancestors of Aonians. Silverixe was conquered by Rysian and its people were forced into labor and were treated as slaves by their oppressors from the once peaceful and amiable nature of this old regnum rose a culture that despised the barbarians that conquered them, destroyed and plundered their sacred lands. Though Rysia was

Chapter 53: First of all CONGRATULATIONS for updating this year. I hope I'll see this fic updating MORE this year.

And so my comment begins..

I love this chapter because a lot of things are happening. The pace is fast then it goes slow, the tone too, from light to dark and I'm not gonna lie, I like how you chunked Hikaru & Yoona's part into two.

"Duck" that part had me cracking up! You don't say vogue things like that to Hikaru because, well, he's Hikaru. Yoona on the otherhand, she had a complete 360 turn in my image of her in this fic.

My Image of Yoona: reserved, calm, delicate you know, the typical maiden type

After Reading this Chapter: she is as funny as Hikaru but with more brains and common sense.

I like this new side of her, especially when she woke up and saw Genie then passed out. How did she even become the sleepong beautyxD lol at Hikaru, he's such cutie isn't he? Like look at him hesitating to kiss Yoona, just look at him!!

Now for the party, heck that was boring but I was half proud of Chinen, he showed looking all proud in front of the people who disowned him-- also Sunny is so cute and pretty and so proper. That makes me wonder, does she have that 'funny' side like Yoona *remembers Soonkyu* okay nevermind.

Also, finally I get to see Toma, Junno, Ohno, Masuda, Yuichi, Jin in one place! Bravo to that!

Also I get this strage feeling that Ryutaro is going to show up~ I dunno, maybe I just want to see him.

Yuyaaaaaaaaaa! Holy Siopao he's awake and he could not sleep! Now go forth and look for an adventure, tire yourself out and go back to sleep.

Anyway I love how Kazuya looks more like a parent now. I saw him change and he's my favorite character (aside from Hikaru and Yuya of course) he's changed for good.

And last but not the least, my favorite part in the fic, Taeyeon into the darkness. *cough* i get to see evil Chanyeol *cough* anyway yeah, like a cameo role but you don't know how happy you have made me feel. Seeing him was the BEST part so far (for me). Its like S
Seeing Chanyeol here is like a bonus for me! I have reread that part for like 10 times so I can see him more. I have a feeling he's into the dark side of the world (aside from Heirus) you know, more darker like I feel like he's under some major darkER entity (lol SM?) Jokes aside I feel like he's taking a command from someone big that we are soon going to meet? And does that mea we're going to meet more from EXO soon?

I dunno but please don't leave me hanging! I wanna know more about that darkworld. And alsp Yuya's adventures.

Hoping you'll reply to at least answer my questions.

Sincerely Yours,
Me

Chapter 49: My first comment got deleted by the wifi so here I am writing it again. First of all, I am glad that Jess and Kei got together finally, and Kazuya resigned from the Paleo. Oh I wish Kazuya and Jin misses each other. *ahem* Writer pleaaaaase *ahem*. By the way, Yamada squeezed his way out just to be caught by the love of his life. Not a very good way to impress a girl. My poor poor Hikaru is hurt, EAT VEGGIES TILL YOUR TONGUE FEELS NUMB *evil laugh*. Welcome back to the chapters Ryutaro and Keito. I hope the next chapter would not be in the next two years
